/*!
  An MArrayDataHandle is a smart pointer into a data block (MDataBlock) that
  handles access to array data.  MArrayDataHandle supports attributes that
  can have an array of data.

  The array indices do not have to be continuous.  The array can be
  sparse.  Thus, an array could have four elements with the indicies
  1, 6, 8, and 10.

  MArrayDataHandle methods cannot be assumed to be threadsafe. The
  jumpToElement() method sets an internal pointer so definitely cannot
  be called by multiple threads simultaneously.
